Application filed December 23, 1914. Serial No. 878,740.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, HERMAN MosoHoowrrz, a citizen of the United States, and residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Forms for Preserving and Displaying IVaists and other Garments, of which the following is a specification.

rIhe object of my invention is to provide a suitable form to preserve in their proper shape and free from wrinkles waists and garments and which form can be adopted for purposes of displaying the waist or garment.

In my former application, Serial No.

863,496, led September 25, 1914i, I described my improvement for hanging and displaying garments and means for changing the form for hanging into a form for displaying the garment and means for changing the form for display back to a simple hanging device. f

My present invention is to provide means more particularly adapted to preserve garments that are packed in boxes for purposes of shipment or storage, especially waists and at the same time provide means for displaying the garment which will not interfere with its use as a form for purposes of packing. l My device is preferably made of cardboard, although I am aware that otherv material can be used, and is adapted to be changed from its function as a packing device not only by operation of the hook as in Y my previous application Serial No. 863,496, but also by the hands of the person displaying the garment and is further adapted to stand on a counter or table as a figure for display, as will more fully be seen by reference to the drawings herein. My device may also be attached by any suitable means tothe bottom of a box for the vpurpose of holding the garment firmly during shipment, and when the lid is removedthe garment may also be advantageously displayed without taking the garment from the box.

It is sometimes desirable to pack waists of the more expensive kind in separate boxes, and it is now customary in the art to' use paper and other materials to fill out the waist, to some extent, in shipment, and for the time that it remains in the box. l

I insert in my invention a spring which will support 'the bust forms and thus support the waist when laid Hat in a box, and when the spring is not needed for such purposes it can be held against the back member by a clip, as shown and described.

Referring to the drawings, Figure I is a front view of my improvement in the form adapted for purposes of packing, the means for displaying the bust portion folding snugly against the back element. lFig'. II is a side view of my improvement and shows the device extended for purposes of display.

and capable of standing on a counter or table.

To the back piece A is attached the bust form B B2, B3 flexible at the point B3.

The supporting device C is attached to the back piece A and to the bust form B B2 B3, and is flexible at the point C so as to fold and lie flat against the back piece A. The hook E is devised to operate in the slot E formed by the back part A and the upper part of the bust form B which is attached to the back part A. The cord D is attached to the hook E and the lower member C and is adapted to extend the bust form B B2 B3 but this can more readily be done with the hands b. spring x is anchored to the back part A, and when released fromY the clip G Vwill support the bust form B B2 B3 in position when the form is laid flat in a box or otherpressing up the part C.
